  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Reds stormed to the Premier League title in the 2019/20 season, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, supporters were not able to witness their triumph in person. Now, with Liverpool well in command of this term's title race, Mac Allister says, "everyone says the same" when thinking about lifting silverware in front of the club's fans.

  WHAT ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER SAID

  He said in the Liverpool matchday programme: “Yes, that’s what’s been discussed here with one or two of the lads who have been here at the club for a few years now and who managed to win the (2019/20) title on that occasion. That will be the difference, I think, between winning it now and what it was like in that season. Everyone says the same, that they weren’t able to celebrate the win in the way everyone would have wanted as a result of the pandemic.”

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mac Allister's Liverpool are a whopping 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta's men do have a game in hand. However, with just 10 matches of the season remaining, the Reds are in a very strong position to lift the title and do it in front of their adoring fans.
